This is with big valves, SFR headers, big cam, etc.
I can't say anything particular about the specs, other than that it is a sigificant departure from the current stage 3.
If I ever get a rainy day here, I will dyno the current stage 3 with the goal of breaking 600 at the wheels - all of those ducks are now in a row.
Even if it is 600, however, I will not have 1 bar until 3450 rpm in 4th gear - we hope that the new turbo will increase the powerband by 500+ rpm and RETAIN the horsepower.
Have a nice day.![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

You are going to have roughly the same spool-up as a factory turbocharger and push 600whp on an engine that has very little RPM band? Something does not add up.
You do realize that the turbocharger will have to reach a much higher shaft RPM to produce 1 BAR with the larger valves and camshaft, assuming the engine's VE is even increased at such a low operational speed. I doubt you can substantiate enough exhaust energy to produce 1 BAR at 3000 RPM with a turbo that pushes 500whp efficiently.
How about you post the specifications of the turbocharger to begin with.

I guess a dyno chart will just have to do, as always

The only answers you are going to get is insults or my tuner is the best and the whole world beggs for his services but he declines because he loves 951's so much. He could not break 400 whp ( yeah could not turn up the boost) on pump (and e-coast pump is much better than w-coast) but posted a 500 + wheeldyno sheet with the boost turned to max (not disclosed) on enhanced racegas aka a dyno queen run. Whoever believes that those dyno settings will survive sustained loads in the real world or god forbid on a racetrack are incredible naive.

Yes, the dyno will show the power and the relative spoolup improvement.
We should not compare the latest technology, leading edge turbos specifically designed for the 951 to a turbo designed in the 60's for a diesel truck - which has very high static compression. Take it from me, I know diesel turbos.....

I assume it'll end up being a modified GT30 series, based on the fact that its a pain to fit and they spool quickly. I would think a standard GT3071R would hit 1bar around 3000rpm, so if john's turbo mods are really hot stuff, maybe he can get a 3076 or even a 3040 to spool by 3k?
Admittedly, it sounds like a lofty goal, but I'd rather see someone aim high and come close than strive to be mediocre.
